Chalet Hotel Schweizerhof, St Anton

The Schweizerhof offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful, secluded location but within walking distance of the lively, buzzing centre of St Anton, with the slopes and the ski school just a brief hotel shuttle bus ride away.

Situated in the quiet hamlet of Nasserein, against a backdrop of pine forests, this chalethotel is smart and comfortable. Decorated in Tyrolean style, with wood panelling, bright colours and big picture windows, the Schweizerhof is full of light and space. The open plan dining room is particularly impressive and spacious with magnificent views over the village and up into the mountains. It's the sort of place you'll want to linger in. The bar is comfortable and inviting, opening on to a cosy lounge with a big log fire and low sofas. Even more relaxing is the Viva salon, where you will find a sauna, steam room, and tranquil treatment rooms for massage, body wraps and facials. Children get pampered here too, with a crèche that is big, bright and fun.

Chalet Hotel Schweizerhof Reviews

We booked last minute into the Chalet Schweizerhof, based more on availability of a room with an en suite than anything else. However, we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was the best we've had on a chalet holiday, with authentic Thai curries, Italian risottos, homemade ice creams and more. We didn't eat one thing we didn't like, and the free wine included with the meal was also very nice! You can choose whether you want to eat on your own or with other people every night, which is a nice touch as I thought being in a large chalet we would be expected to always share tables, but this was not the case.
The staff were very helpful and friendly and were always on hand when we needed them. Andy the lead Winter host in particular was great! The free shuttle to the lift is a bonus, but beware the apres ski - if you miss the last shuttle back (at 5pm), it is quite a walk back in your ski boots! We did this twice, and it took us about 15-20 mins, so is still manageable, but worth bearing in mind! There are lockers by the main lift if you'd prefer to leave your skis and boots there in the evenings and walk back in more comfort! We were on a budget so didn't use them, but they were very reasonable (13 euros a week), and our friends who did use them very much enjoyed the luxury of walking home in normal shoes every night!
In summary, I would definitely do this again, as the accommodation, food and service were all exceptional!

St Anton at Half Term 08/04/2011

Ski-ing was excellent and we found the resort great fun with a wide variety of ski-ing. Only problem with the ski-ing was that the runs became a lot harder in the afternoon once the moguls had formed. The town itself is pretty and relaxed. The Hotel Schwiezerhoff is well away from the noisy bit of town which is good for young families. The hotel was fine but relatively basic. The distance from the slopes and restaurants could be a problem but the shuttle buses coped well despite half term. Inevitably the only downside is that ski-ing at half term is not kind to the wallet!
